Abstract
Draws attention to the poisonous effects of lead and details the legislation which protects those who work in industries which use lead in their processes and manufactures. Gives particular consideration to lead in paint, especially to be found in houses built pre‐1965, and the inherent dangers in the removal of such paint to contractors, DIY enthusiasts and the occupants, especially children, who are more susceptible to lead absorption. Provides details of preventive measures, and concludes that surveyors have a responsibility to warn of the dangers of lead in property and to test for its presence in paint and water supplies.
